Playback the TRINITY to control other MIDI equipment

The MIDI messages transmitted by the TRINITY's keyboard or controllers (joystick, etc.) can play
external tone generators, or record data on external sequencers.
The MIDI data that is transmitted by the TRINITY depends on the mode.
In Program Play mode, all data will be transmitted on the Global MIDI channel.
In Combination Play mode, all data will be transmitted on the Global MIDI channel, and in addi-
tion, timbres whose Timbre Mode setting (settable independently for each timbre) is set to EXT
(External) will simultaneously transmit data according to their own settings (transpose and MIDI
channel settings). For each type of data, you can specify whether it will or will not be transmitted.
In Sequencer mode, all data will be transmitted on the channel selected for each track in P1 (for
tracks whose Track Status is set to either EXT or BOTH). (Data transmitted during sequencer play-
back will be discussed later.)
Receive Program Change and Bank Select messages in
Combination Play mode to select combinations and tim-
bre programs
When a Program Change or Bank Select message is received on the Global MIDI channel, the com-
bination will change. Messages on other MIDI channels will select programs for timbres (whose
Timbre Mode is INT) within the combination whose channel matches the channel of the incoming
message. This reception status can be changed as follows.
If in Global mode the Combination Change setting is un-checked (the above paragraph assumed
that it was checked), the combination will not change even if Program Change and Bank Change
messages are received on the Global MIDI channel. Instead, any timbres with a matching MIDI
channel (and a Timbre Mode setting of INT) will change programs.
You can specify for each timbre in a combination whether or not it will receive Program Change
and Bank Select messages. For example if two timbres (on the same MIDI channel) are set to dif-
ferent programs, two different sounds will be play for each note, but if a Program Change is
received they will both change to the same program. However if you set one of these timbres so
that it will not receive Program Changes, only the other timbre will change programs.
This setting is made in Combination Edit mode P4.
Connect a computer etc. and use it to store TRINITY series
sound data and settings
This can be done using MIDI Data Dump.
Various types of sound data and settings can be transmitted and received using a MIDI exclusive
data dump.
The following types of data can be dumped: program, combination, drumkit, some global param-
eters, and song data. You can transmit all the data at once, in banks, or in individual units.
Data dump transmissions are performed in Global mode.
When you change a combination, data of that combination will be transmitted. When you enter
Program Edit mode or use the Performance Editor, data of that program will be transmitted.
Data dumps can be received only if the Global mode Enable Exclusive setting is checked. How-
ever data dumps can be received whether or not this setting is checked as long as you are in the
data dump transmission page (Global mode P2 page menu).
Data dumps are transmitted and received on the Global MIDI channel.
